## Description

**AHA ACLS** is an officially endorsed digital health tool from the American Heart Association, designed to help physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, EMTs, and trainees manage real-world advanced cardiac life support at the bedside. Developed by Harvard-affiliated physicians and vetted by the AHA science team, the app includes the latest 2025 ACLS recommendations.

Quickly access four core algorithms: cardiac arrest, tachycardia with a pulse, bradycardia with a pulse, and post-cardiac arrest care. Use clear timers and logs to track CPR rounds, epinephrine, and defibrillation, with a rapid transition to post-cardiac arrest care after ROSC. The app includes a 3-day free trial followed by an auto-renewing annual subscription.

## Review summary

Users praise AHA ACLS for its practical design, up-to-date algorithms, and useful time-stamping/debriefing logs. The main concerns are the subscription paywall and access issues during codes, with many users viewing the monetization as unethical for a life-saving tool. Some report mid-code lockouts and desire more detailed, granular logging. Overall, it’s highly useful in emergencies but clouded by pricing and access controversies.

### Pros

- Practical, intuitive, and designed around real clinical workflows; built by physicians, making it reliable in high-stress codes.
- Up-to-date ACLS content and algorithms that clinicians rely on during resuscitations.
- Strong time-keeping and drug-timing features with a concise summary log that aids debriefing and PCR documentation.
- User interface is accessible and effective at the point of care for physicians, nurses, and paramedics.

### Cons

- Paywall/subscription model with ongoing costs; many users feel essential features are inaccessible or delayed behind a fee.
- Occasional mid-code lockouts or disruptions tied to the subscription model, impacting urgent use.
- Widespread perception of greedy or unethical monetization of a life-saving tool; criticized as unnecessary for emergency guidance.
- Requests for more detailed logging and event documentation (e.g., end-code controls, granular actions) not fully met by current log features.
